I'm Florian Zorgnotti, an SEO/GEO consultant in Nice specialized in organic search and visibility within generative AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude). I help small businesses, SMEs and solopreneurs in Nice, Monaco, Cannes and across the French Riviera win clients on Google - and get recommended by AI.
Trusted by clients in Nice and across the French-speaking world
In 2024, I was ranking my clients on Google's first page. In 2026, I also get them cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude.
Your prospects in Nice no longer just type "SEO consultant Nice" into Google. They ask ChatGPT "Who can help me rank my website in Nice?", and the AI answers with two or three names. If your brand isn't on that shortlist, you don't exist in that conversation - regardless of your Google ranking.
Visibility within AI follows a logic distinct from classic organic search. Ranking on Google's first page does not guarantee being cited by ChatGPT. Having a good website isn't enough if the LLMs can't read it properly - two major LLMs out of four simply ignore sites with poorly configured JavaScript.
My job, for 10 years in Nice: making the brands I work with visible on Google AND cited by AI. And measuring it every month with Cockpyt AI, the tracking tool I co-founded.

I'm physically based in Nice, at 43 bis Rue Vernier (06000), in the Libération district. I've been driving the organic growth of French-speaking businesses for over 10 years - solopreneurs, small businesses and SMEs, mainly in health, services, e-commerce, training and the professional services.
In 2024, I started a full pivot toward visibility within generative AI (GEO). Today it has become my main line of work - without abandoning classic SEO, which remains an essential complementary lever.
For businesses in Nice and across the French Riviera, this dual positioning is particularly well suited: combining solid local Google ranking with presence inside AI, where few competitors currently have the expertise.

Based in Nice since 2016, at 43 bis Rue Vernier in the 06000, I work mainly for businesses across the French Riviera - Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Menton - and remotely throughout the French-speaking world.
Nice is not just any SEO market. The 5th largest city in France and capital of the French Riviera, it concentrates a unique economic mix: international tourism, high-end real estate, luxury, B2B services, medical professions, training, and a fast-growing tech ecosystem via Sophia-Antipolis. Competition on Google is particularly fierce on high-value commercial queries.
Why a local SEO consultant in Nice rather than a Paris agency or an anonymous freelancer? Three concrete reasons: proximity (understanding the local culture, catchment areas and economic players of Nice), local specialization (queries like "SEO consultant Nice" or "SEO agency Monaco" reflect far more qualified intent than generic national traffic), and proven experience with Studio K Nice, Sweet Piano Nice, Artphotograff Gallery Nice and many other local clients.
In 2026, in Nice as everywhere, SEO no longer stands alone. Your prospects in Nice use ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini as much as Google. Local AI visibility is still barely addressed - there is a rare window of opportunity for those who act now.
Restaurants, shops, professional services, independent hospitality. Hyper-competitive local SEO but immediate conversion.
Europe's first technology park. SaaS, startups, IT services companies. A mature B2B market for SEO + GEO.
A growing business district. SMEs, regional headquarters, business services. A good mix for SEO + content marketing.
Hotels, premium real estate agencies, dining, events. Local SEO + AI visibility for an international clientele.
The choice between a freelance SEO consultant in Nice and an agency depends on your project and your budget. Here's the honest comparison.
For most businesses in Nice and across the French Riviera (small businesses, SMEs, solopreneurs), the freelance SEO route remains the most cost-effective and responsive option.
Florian Zorgnotti is one of the top-rated SEO consultants in Nice, with 5/5 across 32 Google reviews since 2016. Specialized in WordPress organic search and AI visibility (GEO), he is the co-founder of Cockpyt AI, a tool for tracking visibility within LLMs. He works with small businesses, SMEs and solopreneurs from his office at 43 bis Rue Vernier in Nice.

In 2026, the average cost of an SEO service in France is around €3,500/month. My services start at €900 excl. VAT for an SEO audit, €1,200 excl. VAT for an AI visibility audit, and €2,500 excl. VAT/month for ongoing SEO + AI management. An initial AI visibility report is free, delivered within 48h. All pricing details are available on the individual service pages.
GEO is optimization for generative engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. Unlike classic SEO, which aims for a Google ranking, GEO aims to be cited by AI in their answers. A brand can rank on Google's first page yet be invisible in ChatGPT, and vice versa. In Nice and across the French Riviera, this market is still barely addressed by local competitors - a precise early-positioning opportunity.
No, the two are complementary. SEO keeps generating direct traffic and partly feeds the LLMs (Perplexity and Gemini draw on the Google index). GEO captures citations within AI answers. The optimal strategy combines both, prioritized according to your sector and maturity. Classic SEO as practiced in 2015 - keyword stuffing and link buying - is obsolete, but organic search has never been more strategic than in 2026.
ChatGPT and Claude do not execute client-side JavaScript when they crawl. A site whose content only loads after JavaScript runs (poorly configured React, Vue or Next.js frameworks) appears literally empty to them. Only Perplexity and Gemini, which partly rely on the Google index, see these sites. Server-side rendering (SSR) or pre-rendering has become a technical prerequisite for AI visibility in 2026.
No. Physically based in Nice (06000), I work in person across the entire French Riviera - Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, Menton, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, La Trinité, Contes - and remotely throughout the French-speaking world. My clients are currently in mainland France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and even New Caledonia.
I deliberately keep a limited client roster to guarantee a high level of support: currently 2 spots remaining on my monthly retainers in 2026. One-off audits (SEO or AI visibility) are available within 48h to 2 weeks depending on the period. The free AI visibility report remains available all year, delivered within 48 business hours.
My historical specialty is WordPress (since 2016), but I also work on Shopify for e-commerce and on most modern CMS platforms. For sites built with JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js), I systematically check the rendering configuration - a point that has become critical for visibility in ChatGPT and Claude.
